Hunter In Baden (By Chronicle Correspondent) ADEN-A very pretty summer wedding was solemnized in Living- ston Presbyterian Church on Saturday afternoon, August 4th, at 2 p.m., when Rev. John V.

Robert Gordon Hunter, R.C.A.F., elder son of Mr. and Mrs. Gordon Hunter of Niagara-on-the-Lake. The ceremony was performed before the altar which was tastiny decorated with white tapers, ferns, gladiolii, asters and phlox. The wedding music was played by Mrs. Frank Howard of Hagersville, aunt of the bridegroom. The bride entered the church on the arm of her father, who gave her in marriage, and looked charming in her wedding gown of ivory duchess satin, made with basque waist, round, fully gathered yoke and the skirt extending into a short train. She wore a long tulle veil and train with sequin-embroidery trim and carried a shower bouquet of Talisman roses and white asters. The bride was attended by her two sisters. Miss Miriam Ritchie as maid-of-honor and Miss Shirley Ritchie as bridesmaid. The attendants were gowned alike in pale blue net over taffeta and they wore pale blue lace mittens and carried nosegays of Talisman roses and white asters. Little Miss Darlene Schmidt of St. Agatha was a winsome flower girl in a rose silk floor-length skirt with hoops and trimmed with pale blue bows. She carried a very dain- ty basket of pink roses and baby's breath. LAC. Charles Howard of Ottawa. cousin of the bridegroom was best man while the ushers were PO. Don Clement of Niagara-on-the- Lake, recently returned from overseas and Cpl. Bill Pollitt, R.CAF, of Toronto. Following the ceremony a reception and wedding dinner was held at the Maples in Waterloo. Receiving with the bridal party was the bride's mother, wearing a two- piece of black crepe, trimmed with yellow, long yellow gloves, black hat and a corsage of Joanna Hill roses. The groom's mother wore a navy blue brocaded sheer, blue hat and accessories and a similiar corsage of Joanna Hill roses.
